Thursday

“I’m a mess.

I’m nothing and have nothing;

make something of me!

You can do it;

you’ve got what it takes God.”

~Psalm 40:17 (MSG)~

 

The weather is finally settling down.  Lot of homes have been damaged or destroyed.  Many lives have been lost.  If you can help someone, do so.  If you cannot operate a chain saw or pick up debris, pray for those whose lives have been touched/changed because of the tornadoes.

Davud’s brother, Jimmy, will be having cataract surgery this morning.  Pray all goes well.

Chloe Newland is home again.  She seems stronger.  The family is happy to be together again.  Continue to pray for little Chloe.

Susie Sharkey has pneumonia.  Add her name to your prayer list.

Roger Pittman is having checkup three weeks following heart surgery.  So far, all seems to be good.  Pray as additional tests are done today.

The Harrells, Mr. Philip and “Miss” Annie Bell, are doing a little better.  Thank-you for your continuing prayers for them.

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE is something we do together…

In Ephesians 4.29, God tells us to build each other p with our words, and later He instructs us to “speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs” (5.19).

We need other Christians to speak, sing, and sometimes shout the truths of God’s Word to us.  We need others to pray for us when we’re in the midst of temptation.  We need friends who will hold on to us when we’re ready to give up.  We need friends who will challenge and even rebuke us when we’re indulging in sin.

Are you connected to others in the church?  Many people today have lost their vision for the Lord’s church.  I used to be one of those people.  I thought of “church” as merely a building or a place to go for social interaction.  I always went to church, but my lifestyle revealed what a low priority it was for me.  The church was somthing on theh outskirts of my life.  Joshua Harris, “Lone Rangers are Dead Rangers,” Not Even A Hint, 134
There’s a vast difference between attending “church” and being the church.  mb

“And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1.22-23

 

Thanks for being there to pray for many needs today.  Your prayers are needed and appreciated.  If you can “put feet to your prayers”, please do so.
